No. 2 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) traveled west and beat a top 10 opponent for the second consecutive week, downing No. 9 Centennial (Corona, Calif.), 40-20, in the featured game Saturday at the Honor Bowl in San Diego.

Saturday night’s game was a rematch of IMG’s thrilling 50-49 victory in last year’s Honor Bowl, but this game was not as close.

Centennial (0-1) was hampered by injuries to starting quarterback Tanner McKee, one of the nation’s best who injured an ankle in the first quarter, and backup Ala Mikaele, who was taken off the field on a stretcher after a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter.

Senior Arturo Herrera, who switched to receiver this season after serving as McKee’s backup last season, then moved back to QB.

Herrera helped rally Centennial and a field goal cut the deficit to 26-20 in the fourth quarter. That’s when a pair of long runs from Trey Sanders put the game out of reach. He went 75 yards with 6:38 to play and then 65 yards a few minutes later to set the final margin.

Bookie Radley-Hiles, returning to his native California, was named game MVP for IMG thanks to his two interceptions. Quarterback Artur Sitkowski was named the Character Award recipient.

For Centennial, the Character Award went to Herrera for switching positions. The MVP went to Thomas Kinslow, who had a pair of rushing TDS and 134 yards on the ground.

IMG plays its home opener net week against St. Frances Academy (Baltimore), a rematch of a game the Ascenders won 38-0 last season. Centennial faces Etiwanda and will await further evaluation as to whether McKee will be available to return.

Kemmerer (Wyo.) became the latest school with a long losing streak to break into the win column.

Kemmerer, a 2A program, downed Saratoga 34-0 to snap a state-record 36-game regular season losing streak. The program’s last win was on Sept. 28, 2012.

Kemmerer got on the board early with a safety after a penalty in the end zone and then scored two plays after the free kick. The score remained 8-0 at halftime, but Kemmerer turned it on the second half for the victory.

The program has a new head coach this season in Bart Jernigan, who lost his debut but now has the team in the win column.

Williams High was leading 24-22 with seven seconds remaining. Bagdad had the ball and needed a miracle finish to win the game in a rematch of the 1A state title game last fall that Bagdad won 60-6.

No problem.

Senior quarterback Israel Loveall launched a deep pass that Scott Finnerty somehow caught between three defenders and ran into the end zone to pull out an improbable victory.

“I think I might have been the ninth guy to the end zone in celebration as we stole a victory against a very solid Williams Vikings team,” coach Dalton Mills said.

With a 24-22 lead, Williams drove into Bagdad territory in the final minute. Bagdad created a fourth-and-eight situation. Williams faked a punt and was stopped short of a first down.

But Bagdad had only seven seconds to pull a miracle.

A screen pass to Rio Delgado went for eight yards. He got out of bounds with 2.6 second left on his 43-yard line. That’s when Loveall launched the long pass that will be talked about in 8-man circles for a long time.

Zack Pickens of Watervliet (Mich.) accounted for nine touchdowns — he threw for five touchdowns and he ran for four more — in a 72-36 victory against Buchanan.

He score 64 points, which is third all-time, according to the Michigan High School Athletic Association record book. And you have to go back to 1914 and 1920, respectively, to find the two players who had 66.
